YOUTH ORGANIZING FOR COMMUNITY POWER
This is SOUL’s core organizing skills training manual.
Trainings were developed by experienced organizers and training centers
nationally. The manual seeks to develop young organizers’
skills to build a membership base, develop leaders, develop strategy
& campaigns, and grow strong organizations. If you’ve
been looking for tools to develop new organizers—staff and
members—check this one out! It contains over 450 pages of
curriculum, including handouts, visuals, worksheets, and a glossary for
use in trainings and as tools organizers can integrate into their work.
Though these participatory workshops were developed for youth
organizers, they can be useful for building the skills of any
organizer. The manual includes workshops on:

GLOBAL JUSTICE TRAINING MANUAL
SOUL’s newest training manual is designed to help young
people develop a critical analysis of the historical development of
global inequality and the current global crisis of the “War
on Terrorism.” Drawing on young peoples’ experience
of oppression in the United States, these workshops help young people
to develop a more global analysis. This manual contains almost 400
pages of curriculum, including workshops on:

•
Power & Imperialism
• The Global Hustle
• From the Bay to Palestine
• The War on Iraq
• The War at Home
• From the Bay to the Philippines
• Roots of Terror
• Oil & Power
• Truth, the First Casualty

SUPPORT AND ACCOUNTABILITY:
SOUL’S ORGANIZATIONAL DEVEOLPMENT
& SUPERVISION MODEL
SOUL utilizes a supervision model based on a balance of support and
accountability. This
model of supervision has been tweaked and refined over the past decade
and we are proud to make it available as a tool to serve new and older
organizations and their leadership! We have noted the crucial
components of SOUL’s staff development model with a hope that
these tools might prove useful to movement organizations broadly. Our
hope is that other organizations that may be struggling with how to
develop and sustain infrastructure will be able to learn from what we
have documented and build on it. Take the Best, Leave the Rest! This
document includes our take organizationally on topics such as:

•
What is Empowering Supervision?
• Supervision as Leadership Development,
• Raising Critique, Reflecting on Feedback
• Supervising a Friend,
• Hierarchy and Democracy,
• Staff Member Orientation and Evaluation,
• Organizational Culture…
• And much much more!
• This tool also includes an Addendums section
complete with templates to how we make
our
model work for us!

TRAINING FOR TRAINERS WORKSHOP MANUAL
SOUL's Training for Trainers Workshop Manual is curriculum for a 3-Day
Intensive Workshop to teach people the skill of political education

Trainers and uses this curriculum. We decided to document the
curriculum so that people who are working to train other people in the
skill of workshop facilitation could have a guide. This manual contains
27 hours of training, and covers the following topics:
